Displays a plot with a missing range.
gap.plot(x,y,gap,gap.axis="y",xaxlab,xtics=NA, yaxlab,ytics=NA,col=par("col"),xlim,ylim,axes=FALSE,...)
x,y |
data values |
gap |
the range of values to be left out |
gap.axis |
whether the gap is to be on the x or y axis |
xaxlab |
labels for the x axis ticks |
xtics |
position of the x axis ticks |
yaxlab |
labels for the y axis ticks |
ytics |
position of the y axis ticks |
col |
color(s) in which to plot the values |
xlim,ylim |
the plot limits. |
axes |
logical - use the default axes or not. |
... |
arguments passed to plot . |
Displays a plot omitting a range of values on one axis. Typically used
when there is a relatively large gap in the overall range of one set of
values. The function warns the user if any values have been omitted by
being in the "gap". See axis.break
for a brief discussion
of plotting on discontinuous coordinates.
